THERE are several very queer things
about the bidding for the BUILDING of
the naval vessels that has recently been
completed. There was to be a crniser
Dullt OF 1000 tons burden and capable
OF making eighteen knots an bour
When proposals were first offered for
II, several months ago, the limit of
cost was 81, 100000, and the bid made
by Cramp & Son was rejected because
It was above this amount. The last
Congress increased the sum to 81 800 600
and now the same firm secures the
contract on bid $4,000 higher than
one which was rejected because it was
too high.
Ihen there are to be speed premiums
as part OF the contract. That is to saw
certain speed is required-18 knots
as to the cruisers just mentioned. 10 as
TO the others-and for every quarter
Knot that the speed on trial falls be-
low this requirement $4,000 is to he
deducted, while for every quarter knot
that it is exceeded $4,000 is to be
added. This is we'll enough. but in
connection with it and after the bids
were opened comes the announcement
alluded to, that the speed trials. on
which this award is to be based are to
De conducted in an entirely different
manner and under circumstances far
more favorable to the contractors than
heretofore. The reduction in time
from six hours to four, and the per-
mission to the contractors to condnct
The trial instead of having it done bv
naval officers is equivalent to at least l
one Knot an hour in favor of the shin s

Was Looking for the Lake.

Master George Altizer shot heron
in Barber's pasture few days ago. 1t
was about the size of a goose, and had
beautiful downy plumage of white and
slate color. Standing straight out
from the back of its head was single
white spike about four inches long that
resembled horn, only it was flexible
and appeared like rolled or woven
feather. Its legs and bill were long
and slender. 1t was curiosity 20
Lancaster people who saw it and COM
ing in on the wing too. For our heron
usually come in small sized drv-goods
boxes, that, after being opened and
placed behind the grocery store counter
make fly summer resorts.

Isaac Mccain, a Richland county

1t must be that McCann is misinformed
regarding Fogo's financial condition, or
else Fogo is guilty of being unprofes-
sional Who ever heard of an editor
having five thousand dollars! Diamonds
are plentiful with our fraternity, but
whoever started the libelous story that
'our people are possessed of money

a whole year.

Blooming Like the Rose

Only few years ago nearly all the
land situated north-northeast of Ian
caster, about the head waters of the
Grants, was practically in wild, un-
cultivated state, and thousands of acres
of timbered land stretched away in
every direction, Now the traveller finds
small new houses at every turn, and the
sturdy oak with its sombre shadows is
giving way to smiling fields and tropical
sunshine. In the futures coming
years, when these splendid farming
lands shall yield their full annual golden
harvests, Lancaster will certainly be
greatly benefited, for out of the ground
cometh all riches.

The Herald's Omnibus,
Sage Advice.

When Judge McGonigal was alive
many sound bits of advice dropped
from his lips. Belonging as he did to
that handful of early settlers here who
spent their younger days amid the rude
scenes attendant upon the birth of
civilization, he never could quite fall
in with the luxurious and spendthrift
habits of the generations that surroun-
ded his last days. One time the HER
AIDS all-around sought out the Judge
for the purpose of getting his advice
about a horse that he had made up
his mind to purchase.
You work six days in week, don't
you?" asked the Judge.
Eyes, | do"
"Well, when do you expect to use
the horse?'
"On Sunday l will ride him around
on Sundays when the weather is good.
Then" said the Judge ''you will
ride the horse one day in the week and
the horse will ride you six. l think
the horse would come out ahead. If
| were you, | wouldn't buy him.
And the all-around didn't.

E. Stone Virgins comes to the sur
face again, having, as he says, ''come
to the moons rescue and to intercede
for the other planets" against the at
tacks of Professor Proctor. Virgins
says that "plauets are always increas-
ing in size, mainly on account of mat
ter floating in space falling upon their
surface. Then the largest planets.
and not the smallest. are the Oldest.
Our earth once travelled in an orbit
much nearer the sun than now, and
will in time become as large and
travel as far from the solar orb as
Jupiter. The huge solid bones of the
dinotherium and the great saurians Of
the 0olitic age indicate that the earth
st that time was nearer the sun.
which increased almost TO crushing
degree the weight of objects on our
planets surface"
